About the Game
The incident at Jacutan Archipelago changed Jack Carver’s life forever.
Jack has had little choice but to embrace the disturbing talents
unleashed by Krieger’s unique brand of folk medicine. Back at his home
port in Micronesia, Jack thought he had finally found paradise. But
when a gorgeous woman draws him in on a dangerous heist, their
sun-drenched days take a chilling turn. Hunted for a murder he didn’t
commit, Jack must draw on his most savage instincts to make his
predators his prey. Game features include:
•Wii Unleashed – Dig deeper into the power of the Wii Remote and
Nunchuk through survival tactics that include driving, shooting,
jumping, balancing, climbing, throwing grenades and Far Cry’s
ever-popular Feral attack.
•Weapons – Choose from a variety of weapons in a struggle to endure the
rebel-infested jungle. Take down an unsuspecting victim from behind
with a machete or meet the fight head-on with your machine gun.
•Vehicles – From ATVs to hovercrafts, pickup trucks to Jet Skis, drive over, around and through vicious combat situations.
•Interactive Environments – Utilize the lush, tropical surroundings to
your advantage, using stealth to sneak through the foliage past
unsuspecting rebels.
•Unleash the Wrath – Feel what its like to be the predator, not the
prey, as you unleash the beast within. Jump higher, run faster and
slash with more fury than all of your enemies combined through the
animalistic Feral abilities unique to the Far Cry series.
•Multiplayer – Challenge your friends in Far Cry Vengeance’s frenetic
Chaos mode as you battle to be the last person standing.
